I assure you I did test it before posting. Ah! My pyparsing prototype preceded the regex version in the same script, and importing the pyparsing module imports re using "import re". That is why I didn't get NameError. Sorry for sloppy posting... Once you clean up the mistakes, you essentially get the same code as earlier posted by Matimus. -- Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
